A bright, ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment set within Catalina Court, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The flat is well presented throughout, with a large living room, modern fitted kitchen and a re-fitted three-piece bathroom. A long lease (around 900 years) gives long-term security.
Residents benefit from communal facilities that support independent living: a communal lounge, laundry room, regular residents’ bus service, attractive communal grounds and off-street parking. The building is mid-1980s brick construction with double glazing and maintained communal areas, making day-to-day upkeep straightforward.
Practical costs and local context are important: the service charge is substantial at about £3,288 pa and heating is electric storage heaters, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The property sits in an area with above-average crime rates and higher deprivation indices, factors to weigh for personal security and resale. Public transport links (Norwood Junction Overground) and local amenities are nearby, supporting easy shopping and social trips.
Ideal for someone over 55 looking to downsize into a low-maintenance, ground-floor home with long lease security and communal support, or an investor seeking a retirement-tenancy asset. The apartment offers comfortable, move-in-ready accommodation but carries service-charge and heating-cost considerations.
